I mentioned that Clara has been exchanging letters with Xan, and actually, her writing has improved tremendously. Here is one of her first notes to Xan. Translation: "Xan: I love you. Tigers are my favorite kind of animal." The words are placed wherever there is room on the paper, and you have to struggle to figure out what the words actually are.
Now here is her most recent one, which barely needs translation. One big difference is that she began to ask for help with spelling instead of making up her own spelling. It's interesting that she realized she needs to spell things so that others can read them. But it's still pretty impressive how much progress she made in terms of spacing and just general legibility in less than two weeks. It's amazing what they learn on their own when they are motivated!
